Hmmm I'm not as familiar with how routing works with OSM, but I wonder if those transits routes show up in other OSM apps, or if Organic Maps is flitering/sorting that in a way where it isn't used? Like is the data missing, or is the app doing something poorly?

Huh really? I haven't had that issue. But we might be totally different use-cases; If I'm routing, I'm usually in major cities mapping a route via public transit. I quite like OrganicMaps for this, because it's still quite stable in underground subways when internet is sus.

edit: To be clear, I haven't noticed issues when I map for driving either, but I'm admittedly not driving a crazy amount.

  • For directions, I use OrganicMaps.
  • For location bookmarks/pins, I'm currently building an app, so I use that.
  • For checking business information, sometimes i'll still use google maps

Yo so question for y'alls: what's your opinion on using custom domain (for portability) vs masked emails?

Rn I have my main emails on my personal domain, and then I have masked emails going through [email protected] for more anonymity + segmenting (err i mean just being able to disable a certain address individually) . But watching all this reminded me that if I decided to move away from fastmail, i'm much more locked-in this way. Do y'alls use a custom domain for masked email as well? The one thing I don't like about that is that it'd be so easy to connect multiple accounts based on domain, so anonymity is probably kinda broken.

I'm not sure if knowing this makes me feel better or worse.

For your consideration, the Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine: https://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/

Edit to show example search for “freight train”: https://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/search.php?phrase=freight+train

I didn’t make this site, I just find it to be very useful for this extremely niche use case 🤣 Although, weirdly, it seems to be linking the wrong strip for this particular one. Dunno why, I’ve never seen it do that before.

So people often comment on my extremely straight teeth, but it's actually because I didn't see the dentist for many years, it turns out that I grind my teeth, and so now my canines are flat. My dentist said I have teeth like someone in their sixties, and now I wear a mouth guard when I sleep to prevent further degradation.

Fwiw, on my m3 + max ram, I also was recording 1080p 30-ish minute obs videos for a while running large Ableton Live project playback + a facecam, and (while I don't remember specs specifics) I didn't find it to be unstable. I don't do heavy video editing, so I'm not sure about the requirements, but for obs in 1080, it felt fine for me. I think I also exported some edited 4k footage at one point though, and I seem to remember rendering that one took a solid amount of time, so if you think you might move to 4k, pro might be more appropriate.

But I remember having specs reservations when getting my air, and I have not regretted it at all. Especially when I see my friends lug around their monster of a laptop. Those pro machines are thicc

I thought for sure they'd say that it's time to retire
